Still waiting on Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money ;_;
Iirc, George Lucas did that with the first Star Wars movie, when the studio heads thought that Stars Wars merch wouldn't sell.
Nobody will ever get the deal Lucas did again. No producer would be dumb enough to sign over ALL the merchandizing rights.
Both sides walked away from that table thinking the other side was a fukkin idiot.
Definitely, but it goes to show how lucrative merchandizing rights can be.
